Product Info
Head shows off its chops as one of the top race ski makers in the game with this toned-down all mountain ride. The Head V-Shape V8 Skis + PR 12 GW Bindings 2021 borrow some tricks and tools from their World Cup siblings, like a super fast race base, an ultra light graphene, carbon, and karuba construction, and a uniquely tapered shape. All of that tech is brought together in a ski that's a bit more approachable, giving you effortless control and power from the drivers seat.
Product Details
Rocker Type
Allride Rocker – Equally at home on bulletproof snow as it is in powder. This profile uses early rise in the tip with regular camber throughout the rest of the ski.
Shape
ERA 3.0 – ERA 3.0 is a combination of technologies, shape, and geometry to achieve effortless handling, more control, and instant grip.
V-Shape Profile – The V-Shape design uses a thicker tip and tail and thinner mid section as well as a balanced ERA 3.0 fusion of rocker, radius and rebound.
Core
Karuba Lightweight Wood Core – Utilizing karuba wood in the core gives you the perfect balance of density, durability, and weight.
Laminates
V-Shape LYT Tech Construction – V-Shape LYT Tech construction features ultra light Karuba wood or composite cores with full length embedded Graphene for power and durability in a light and agile package.
Graphene – Integrating Graphene into the construction provides a reduction in weight and an increase in performance.
Glass Fiber
Diagonal Glass Fiber
Carbon
Dampening Layer
Sidewalls
Sandwich Cap Construction – Head takes the basic framework from the world cup sandwich and place a cap that just wraps over the top edge of the sidewall to make the ski more suitable for all mountain skiing. Bomber construction with a rounded top edge makes for one incredible all-country ski.
Base
Structured UHM C Base – The same high quality material used in Head's world-leading race skis is used here. Different structured running base for all conditions.
Binding Plate
LYT PR Base
Included Bindings
Bindings Do Not Come Mounted to Skis – Always have a certified binding technician mount and adjust your bindings.
Includes PR 12 GW Bindings – DIN Range 3.5 - 12

Carving, All-Mountain

Terrain
Carving For those that like the classic feeling of laying a ski over on edge and arcing a perfect turn, carving skis are what you want. These skis have narrower waists and shorter turn radii for edge to edge quickness and responsive turn initiation and exit on groomed runs and hard pack. The beginner-intermediate skis in this category are designed to make learning how to turn as easy as going from pizza to French fries. All-Mountain All-mountain skis are designed to handle anything you throw at them including powder, ice, groomers, steeps, heavy snow, and everything in between, but they aren’t necessarily a master of any one terrain. If you’re only going to own one ski to do it all, this is what you want. All-mountain skis generally have what we call mid-fat waists that range from 80-110 mm.

Ability Level
Intermediate-Advanced Whether you’re a progressing intermediate exploring new runs and terrain, or an accomplished rider seeking new thrills, the majority of skiers and snowboarders fall into this level. Intermediate to advanced skis and snowboards may be somewhat wider or stiffer than beginner-intermediate skis and snowboards, usually with a stronger wood core and sandwich sidewall construction. Intermediate to advanced boots and bindings range from softer flexing freestyle options to stiffer choices built for stability at speed.

Rocker Type:
Rocker/Camber
More
Rocker Type
Rocker/Camber Rocker/Camber skis pair a traditional cambered profile underfoot with an elongated, early rise tip borrowed from fully rockered skis. This profile places the front contact point further back from the tip, while the rear contact point remains close to the tail. The rockered tip allows for better flotation and less edge catch for increased float in deep snow, while the cambered rear stores and transmits energy similarly to a fully cambered ski.

Tail Type:
Flat

Tail Type
Flat This is your traditional tail, designed to have edge contact all the way through the tail, and only designed for skiing forward. This is also preferred for alpine touring, as you can stick the tails of your skis in the snow.
